door panels

[im3crazy]

I think I used the same 3/16" staple when I installed Varco's door panel kit.

Although the staples are slightly longer than desired, I didn't have any problems as long as I didn't "slam" the staples into the panel.

DUOFast Sells an electric stapler that will use 1/8" upholstery staples. It's about $200 but does go on sale

Bob,

When I re-did my door skins using Dave's wood panels, I used a hot glue gun instread of staples. Same with when I re-covered my trunk boards. Coming up on 2 years now, and no problems.

Just FYI.
